Listen, we know scones get a lot of love (and deservedly so!). They’re seemingly everywhere these days – coffee shops, bakeries, brunches, afternoon tea, and well beyond. Grocery stores offer boxes of (mostly) regrettable quick-bake scone mixes. The internet is jam-packed full of scone recipes of varying quality.

As innkeepers, we take our food super-seriously, folks. We’re passionate about presenting the kind of swoon-worthy breakfast and baked good offerings that make guests want to jump out of bed and rush to the dining room still in their flannel pajamas. We love to share the LOVE! That’s why we’re publishing the secret recipe to our legendary blueberry scones – these aren’t your average dry, crumbly disappointments. These are rich, light, and flake-a-licious masterpieces that combine the best of all worlds!

This hard-won recipe is the result of years of deep-dive scone experimentation — including many, many rounds of fine tunes. We’ve taken the best tips, tricks, and hacks of our fellow innkeeper and culinary friends and leveraged them to improve what was already an excellent recipe. Over the years we’ve bumped up the butter for increased richness (because, let’s be honest, butter is life), sweetened the dough just enough to create a pleasant counterpoint to the tartness of the blueberries, and incorporated a clever folding technique with cold, cubed butter to create those beautiful flaky layers.

Some of the steps in this recipe might sound fancy, but they’re all actually incredibly easy and result in decadent blueberry scones with the texture of heaven plus plenty delightful pockets of juicy berries throughout every single bite. And even though fresh-baked scones tend to have a fairly short shelf-life across the board, these ones will definitely hold up for a few days!

These blueberry scones are so good, they’re dangerous. They’re the kind of baked treat that’ll have you hiding a stash from your significant other (don’t worry, we’ve all been there). There’s no way you’re eating just one of these. Might as well face it, you’re addicted to scones!

For all of you visual bakers, here’s a photo slideshow depicting some of the important steps in bringing our Perfect Blueberry Scones Recipe to life.

• First, we gently space and press fresh blueberries (so they don’t fall out) onto the rolled-out-flat dough.
• Next, we roll the dough up jellyroll-style, capturing those juicy berries inside.
• Then, we press the roll into a long rectangle — and cut that long rectangle into 4 shorter rectangles, before cutting once more (diagonally) to transform the smaller rectangles into scone-shaped triangles.
• Finally, we brush the unbaked scones with melted butter (or heavy cream) and shower them with coarse cane sugar granules (or get wild with a sassy sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, if we’re feeling adventurous).
